Strange Fruit, sung by Billie Holiday. Such a powerful, deeply moving song, sung here in 1939 by Holiday with such honesty and pain. The courage it must have taken to sing this must have been enormous.

🎵Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees 🎵
